*Toot* whoever came out with the decision to increase rental!
Masha College (then Millennium Court) has decided to up the rental, with effective from September, from RM320 to RM400, which marks a drastic rise of 25%. Before this, an increase of RM50 had already been made.
The management is either committing slow business suicide, or they are really that dumb.
NO SMART PEOPLE ONLY THINKS OF SHORT-TERM PROFIT ONE LOR!
Is this their tactic to chase us out or what? I don’t think it is quite possible, considering the new rates also apply to new residents.
When Millennium Court had not yet been taken by Masha College (MC), we had one big and comfy gym room with complete equipments, a mini arcade, a comic store, an air-conditioned reading/TV room, and an abundance of parking lots.
The then MC mini arcade.What do we have now? None of the above, except for a relocated gym “room” that has partially been turned into a storeroom and limited (and expensive) parking lots.
My friend, who is a resident and a car-user, was forced to park his car outside MC after vehicles were no longer allowed into the compound, and it had to bear the consequence of being damaged by a bus! Which hostels/apartments do that to its residents, who are paying a hefty sum of rental??
Not only that, we have also got monkeys who have
too much time on their hands, bringing about inconvenience to good residents like me (some left rubbish on the benches, and I threw my own rubbish into the rubbish bin lor!).
When I was in the smelly elevator one day, I actually overheard a conversation between our housemaster Mr. Zakaria and a foreigner resident. He said something to the effect that this scenario (vandalism) in fact never occurred before, and it was the worst he had seen in the recent years.
Yes, Mr. Zakaria, it
indeed is the worst I have witnessed too during my close-to-three-years stay at MC. And, more often than not, residents will receive immediate notices telling them that the hostel is undergoing some
plumbing works/maintenance and that there will be a water cutoff to facilitate the repair works/maintenance.
How many goddamn repair works do you need to have in six months???
They claim the (overpriced) rental also includes laundry service and etc etc. If I had the options NOT to send my clothes to the
pathetic MC laundry, I would instead send them some of my mega filthy carpets, which have never been washed over two years, or the curtains, or maybe some table clothes. What is the point to send my clothes there when they can’t offer a clean/non-smelly wash?
So, no… An increase of RM80 is simply ridiculous and a robbery. I hope residents will be cooperative enough to talk the management into this matter.
Update: I just saw a new notice saying how the management is “sympathetic towards the sensitivities and needs of all residents,” hence reducing the rental for double-sharing room from RM400 to RM375 each person.
*TOOT!*
You might tell me electric tariff has gone up. But I have to share a fan and light with a roomate; I can’t even cook in my hostel room; and I have to bear water cutoffs from time to time!
And you are ripping off an extra of RM110 from each room every month (the hostel has four blocks and thousands of rooms), on top of the already overpriced rental (RM320).
What do we think us residents/students are? Datuks?
